I put the  RØDE NT-USB+ USB Microphone through its paces. After all was said and done, I have decided this is my new favorite USB mic. When I recommend a mic to folks who are on a budget (heck, even if you are NOT on a budget), this is the mic I'll recommend. It used to be the Blue Yeti. But that has now been dethroned :-).

There are some audio samples in this episode. And it would be best to listen at least to that part with headphones to get the detail.

Bottom line - this mic sounds really close to the same quality as mics costing 3 times more. The NT-USB+ goes for $169, BTW.
